“Our 14 year old daughter has found her ballet home at Charlotte ballet. She shows up to class each day with excitement knowing she will receive helpful direction, instruction and feedback amongst peers who have a similar dedication and love for ballet. We have seen her grow as a dancer and continue to flourish under the guidance of instructors she admires and enjoys.”

“We had an excellent experience with the Junior Intensive summer programme at Charlotte Ballet. It was a smooth, well-organized approach and resulted in a fun experience which allowed us to get an idea of what to expect over the next years’ curriculum. We were warmly welcomed by the lower school director and all the wonderful instructors. I felt the programme afforded excellent instruction, attention to student learning and professionalism while being an inviting, safe place to cultivate friendships. We were able to observe our daughters’ growth at the end of the two week period as students had the opportunity to showcase their learning to conclude the programme prior to being assessed and placed for the coming year.”

“Grayson has been dancing with Charlotte Ballet Academy for 6 years, and we couldn’t be happier with how much he’s grown. We chose the academy because of their boys’ program, and it’s been such a valuable experience for him. Dancing alongside other boys has given him a sense of belonging and confidence that has really helped him flourish. From the very beginning, we’ve watched him grow not only as a dancer, but also in his confidence and self-expression. The caring and talented instructors have created a space where he feels inspired to challenge himself and follow his passion for dance. We’re so grateful for everything the academy has done for him.”

“We made the decision to enroll our daughter at Charlotte Ballet Academy when she pivoted to more rigorous ballet training. Each year, she has benefited from being guided by a solid team of exceptional and dedicated teachers, who have all left their imprint on our daughter’s dance journey in unique and remarkable ways. The CBA studios are stunning, the in house costume shop and black box theater (available to students for rehearsals and mid-year and summer performances) are first rate, and the high level standards of excellence in training coupled with professional performance opportunities are unmatched in our area.  The partnership with Charlotte’s beautiful Belk Theater and state of the art Knight Theater further provide students the opportunity to perform in inspiring venues alongside Charlotte Ballet’s incredible company. Charlotte Ballet Academy is the place to be if your child is hoping to engage in a path toward a professional career.”

“The teachers at Charlotte Ballet Academy not only encourage us to be our best everyday, but they also care about all of their students on a personal level. I feel at home but at the same time they challenge me and push me out of my comfort zone. I also love CBA because of the countless performance opportunities and the beautiful big studios. Charlotte Ballet has not only impacted my dance journey but also my life, and I will carry my experiences and what I learn here with me forever!”
